Dear Kurt,
We are producing samples to be used as standard XRD (and neutron diffraction)
reference materials for line profile analysis, QPA and also for energy
calibration of synchrotron radiation.
Our samples of Y2O3 were already characterized by conventional laboratory
diffractometers and synchrotron and presented very good results.
Although just now we have a small quantity (we are planning to produce a new
lot soon) perhaps we can help you.

Subject: source for Y2O3?
Dear Rietvelders,
In September there was a discussion of refining the polarization of an
instrument, and Lachlan and Matthew both suggested Y2O3. The time has come to
do the measurement, and I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for a good
source and annealing schedule for the Y2O3? Is the already annealed material
available as an XRD standard?
Thank you very much,
- Kurt
